I have12session w/ GentleYag for Face&Underarm. I came complete shaven for 1st session & Doc say"I can't see where hair is growing I must see hair folicle, waste your $, if do now" Even I say but laser wasted on hair shaft she say NO. So I wait 14day hair has grown so I trim as close as can, hair still sticking up & visible. Doc say GOOD then do laser & it hurt like burn feel! PLZ tell me clearly when Docs on here say "laser targets pigment in folicle" U mean UNDER skin? No need ANY hair on skin
